"Everyone agrees on one thing: African-American teen Tariq Johnson was shot and killed in the street. What's unclear is what happened before. The shooter, who claims it was self-defense, is a white gang member -- so was Tariq was in a gang too? Some eyewitnesses say that Tariq had a gun, but others say it was a candy bar. Everyone has a different story, and as Tariq's loved ones grieve, the police, the media, and the community all take sides. With brief, fast-moving chapters that reveal the perspectives of Tariq's neighbours, family, friends, and enemies, this complex look at an all-too-realistic tragedy is sure to get people talking."
